4 New Updates On October 1, 2015 the market started with the EMV to prevent identity theft. University has changed their credit card processor company from Elavon to Wells Fargo Merchant Services. We are right now having all Visa and Discover merchants being setup new with Wells Fargo. Due to negotiations it is a little behind but we are working on it. We will also have new credit card machines to comply with the EMV and also IT will be installing them on the different campus to make sure the setup and place where the credit card machines are will be safe. Once we get the new merchants I will send out the website to view your merchant statements online as we have right now. Be patient and don’t hesitate to ask any questions

24 Credit Cards with Microchips What is EMV? EMV is an open-standard set of specifications for smart card payments and acceptance devices. The EMV specifications were developed to define a set of requirements to ensure interoperability between chip-based payment cards and terminals. EMV chip cards contain embedded microprocessors that provide strong transaction security features and other application capabilities not possible with traditional magnetic stripe cards. Where has EMV been adopted? Eighty countries globally are in various stages of EMV chip migration, including Canada and countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia. According to EMV Co, as of December 2013 :

25 What are the benefits of EMV? The biggest benefit of EMV is the reduction in card fraud resulting from counterfeit, lost and stolen cards. EMV also provides interoperability with the global payments infrastructure – consumers with EMV chip payment cards can use their card on any EMV-compatible payment terminal. EMV technology supports enhanced cardholder verification methods and,cardholder verification methods unlike magnetic stripe cards, EMV payment cards can also be used to secure online payment transactions. Why are EMV credit and debit cards and EMV payment transactions secure? EMV secures the payment transaction with enhanced functionality in three areas: Card authentication Cardholder verification Transaction authorization Information on the specifications and organization is available at http://www.emvco.com http://www.emvco.com
